HOSPITAL CRISIS NEW GENERAL MOBILIZATION

A week after Emmanuel Macron's announcement of a "flash mission" to find solutions to the emergency crisis and just days before the legislative elections, nine unions (including CGT, SUD and CFE-CGC) and collectives (including Inter-Hospitals and Inter-Urgences) are organizing a mobilization day.
The unions and collective organizations of caregivers have planned rallies in at least 50 cities. And are convinced neither by the Ségur de la Santé which was held in 2020, nor by the announcement of a “flash mission” which should lead to new proposals at the end of June.

In a leaflet distributed for a few days and entitled "there will be deaths", the inter-union denounces the immobility of the government despite regular alerts for three years.

“Access to first aid care is more and more complicated and the hospital no longer fulfills its public service role,” reads this leaflet. “Staff are angry and tired. (...) 

The Philippe and then Castex governments managed on a small scale, responding to emergencies with discriminatory measures such as hiring bonuses, without consideration for the staff already in office, despised ! »

The situation of emergency services in France is more than worrying. For lack of caregivers, at least 120 services have been forced to limit their activity or are preparing for it, according to a count at the end of May from the Samu-Urgences de France association.

The main demands

This Tuesday, the latter will therefore be in the street to make their five main demands heard, "the same for three years" remind the unions:

1 ° Immediate recruitment of additional caregivers

2° General increase in wages, taking into account time constraints and arduous work

3° Reinforcement of the financial means of establishments, recruitment of administrative staff to refocus caregivers on their tasks

4° Stopping of all closures of establishments and beds;

5° Implementation of measures to guarantee access to care for all French people, in all territories.

The salary increase for caregivers in the public and private non-profit sector to the tune of 183 euros, obtained at the end of the Ségur de la Santé, will therefore not have been enough to allay fears and anger..
